Programme overview
It is planned to hold this popular course again to satisfy demand - please click on the "Enquire Now" link to register your interest and be notified once dates for a rerun are tied down. This 3-day course is an introduction to the SystemVerilog language for IC design engineers. It starts with a review of Verilog RTL design techniques, then introduces the many enhancements in SystemVerilog that make capturing RTL design intent easier. Finally the course introduces SystemVerilog Assertions, a powerful methodology to help validate design behavior. The course is intended for IC design engineers with some prior RTL experience who wish to learn SystemVerilog. It will be delivered as an interactive remote learning course with a maximum of 12 participants to maintain high quality training.
Learning outcomes
Participants will understand the new constructs and extensions in SystemVerilog which help to capture designer intent. You will learn to apply these to improve your existing RTL Design process.
Who is the course for?
Digital IC Design engineers. A knowledge of the Verilog language is a prerequisite.
